Android vs Iphone? Android apps/games just as plentiful as iphone?

[Druid Dude]

I'm on a 3gs now, debating if I want to spend the money on a iphone 4(no upgrade for a year yet). Or spend a little less for an android phone.
Without being biased, does the android market have as much variety in apps and especially games? Or even close? I really want high end games, not just games you can find on a 6 year old flip phone. And also a big factor, I heard the droid OS can be pretty slow at times, which the fully customizable options doesn't really make up for.

Just wanna get a few other's opinions...Thanks
And if so, which android phone would you recommend, that doesn't cost as much as an iphone 4 at full price.

I think that the iPhone 4 would be the best bet for you because the games are much more crisp and they look good on the iPhone. My driod lags when im playing games and almost all of them have ads in them due to the fact that 3rd parties can make apps in the android market. IPhone is the best bet for your situation. Its just a lot better.

If your primary concern is games, then I would have to say go for the iPhone. The Droid OS being slow depends on the phone's internals. If it's a cheap phone with, say, a 500 mhz processor, then it will be a bit slow.

A side note: You mentioned iPhone 4. Remember too that the next generation of iPhone is coming out in September (most likely). Unless you absolutely want a phone now, I'd recommend waiting for that.

get the galaxy s2 (just released) or Any top android phone, only the old android phone lag, not any of the 2011 ones

I prefer android over apple for the reason that its open-source, that means that the majority of the apps are free, and you get more revolutionary and cutting edge apps. And do things are even only barely available on a jail broken iphone
The android market already has 250000 apps- closing in on apple 500000; some say it will surpass it before the year is over. Also any popular iphone game or game adaptation can be found in the android market for free. super high end games are out only for the latest android phones with tegra-2 processors
Another great thing about android as that if you dont like something (keyboard, homescreen, etc.) it can easily be swapped without jail-breaking, unlike the iphones one-size-fits-all approach.

Other features only on android
Turn-by-turn GPS
Better and larger screen

Here is a big one, add a sd card

Apple lovers that say that the iphone is made of better quality material? They don’t realize that Samsung, an android phone maker, supply’s the screen, processor and memory for apple devices, so android has the advantage here.
The iphone is pretty, but not durable, drop it once- it breaks, all that glass around it? That was honestly a mistake. Android manufactures clearly saw that, and decided to do with something a little more durable.

Also apple never invents anything, there never “the first” all they do is steal old technology, give it a fresh coat of paint and mass advertise it as “magical” and “innovating”, thus fooling the mass of the population into believing that apple offers cutting edge technology, that in fact has been around for quite a few years. So instead of innovating, apple actually hinders technology- after 4 years they still have low-power single core phones, while android, an example of technology in overdrive, has rumored that, after their second year, the release of quad core phones that will surpass even some desktop computers in shear processing power.

Apples and Microsoft are getting scared at android massive success look at this

And they can’t sue for being the first phone with a touch screen, or creating the fist tablet (because they weren’t the first), So instead the majority of the lawsuits are for things like “rounded icon corners” and having a “flat screen”, or “the square shape of the phone”


And to top it all, if you’ve seen apples 2011 presentation, apple blatantly copied over five "new" features that were previously on android.

1. Notification bar
2. Twitter integration
3. No need to connect to PC to sync
4. Launch apps from lock screen
5. Tabbed browsing

According to Steve jobs, these "revolutionary" new technologies that android users had since 2007 will be available on IOS5, and it would not surprise me to see some more android features from 2008 on IOS6.But the truly sad part is that due to apples marketing, in a few months, apple lovers will really think that apple invented those features and call android the copycats…yet again.

iphone can never offer you a good feeling. One always feels like its a some not my phone as there are list of boundaries composed by mr.jobs. Great thing about android is that i finds it very interesting and you can manage and deal the way you want.
I would suggest you to buy HTC Desire or wildfire.HTC is very good with android devices. as far game apps are concerned you are going to love addictive line drawing games of android like Sky traffic route.
